Don't have the patience to retype the whole thing but today, March 4, on and off from about 13:30 to about 18:00, same reasons as before, intensity still soft sobbing, big tear volume, location, wherever in my home I happened to be. I seem to be baking a habit of this.

I'm not sure if reflexive should tears count as "crying" on this site, along with whining and yelling. I think it ought to be limited to being a physical reaction to emotions. IMO, of course.

Date:a week ago.forgot the date.
Time: 11:00
Duration: on and off for four hours or so.
Intensity: varied, but mostly pretty intense. Releasing multiple tears at once, was dripping everywhere, it was sloppy.
Location: wherever I happened to be, bed, cooking, washing machine...stuff needs doing even if I'm crying.
Reason: mixed emotions. News of the birth of my nephew, my sister's fifth child. I am overjoyed because I'm a very devoted aunt, but both my sisters have five children now while I am the only one of my family who ever wanted a house full of kids, from when I ess little. another baby isn't an option for me for right now and seeing my nephew really brought home how badly I had wanted that.
Reaction: just let 'er rip. No one was home so I could be as drippy and undignified as I wanted.
Lip curl: Yup
People present: My self

Pretty intense. Could you tell if it was a big lip curl or a mild one?

It must have varied because it went on so long.

Date: 3/13
Time:4 am
Duration 30 sec
Intensity: just a few tears
Location: my car
Reason: Coming home from a tough shift having been up for 22 hours and had not finished all of my work. Frustration, exhaustion, and realizing just how tough,humbling, and frightening the first year of my residency has been. I remember trying to fight the tears and then wondering why as there wasn't anyone there to see.
People present: alone
Lip curl: no

Isn't it dangerous to have doctors working in that state of exhaustion?
